Dough Mixing Mode:
- Add your desired ingredients (flour, water, yeast, etc.) into the mixing bowl. The recommended flour-to-water ratio is 100:50/60, adjustable based on your recipe.
- Close and lock the transparent lid.
- Press the 'Knead Dough' button. The default mixing time is 15 minutes. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the mixing time between 5-40 minutes in 5-minute intervals.
- Press 'Start/Stop' to begin mixing. The machine will operate in intervals to mimic hand-kneading.
- Once the set time is complete, the machine will beep.
Dough Fermentation Mode:
This mode maintains a constant temperature range of 77-100°F (25-38°C) to facilitate optimal dough rising. During colder seasons, using warm water for mixing is recommended to achieve the desired fermentation temperature.

- After mixing, or if you are only fermenting, ensure the dough is in the bowl and the lid is securely locked.
- Press the 'Fermentation' button. The default fermentation time is 90 minutes. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the time between 5-120 minutes in 5-minute intervals.
- Press 'Start/Stop' to begin fermentation. The machine will maintain the optimal temperature.
- Once the set time is complete, the machine will beep.
Combined Mixing and Fermentation:
This mode allows for a seamless transition from mixing to fermentation.
- Set your desired mixing time using the 'Knead Dough' button and '+' / '-' controls.
- Immediately after setting the mixing time, set your desired fermentation time using the 'Fermentation' button and '+' / '-' controls.
- Press 'Start/Stop'. The machine will first complete the mixing cycle, then automatically proceed to the fermentation cycle.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Joydeem Electric Dough Maker, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; lid not properly locked. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check power supply. Ensure lid is correctly placed and locked. |
| Dough is too sticky or too dry. | Incorrect flour-to-water ratio. | Adjust the flour-to-water ratio. Add small amounts of flour or water gradually until desired consistency is reached. |
| Dough is not rising during fermentation. | Yeast is inactive; ambient temperature too low (especially in winter). | Ensure yeast is fresh and active. Use warm water for mixing, especially in colder environments, to help activate yeast and maintain fermentation temperature. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Overloaded; improper assembly of blade/bowl. | Do not exceed maximum capacity (2200g flour for mixing, 1600g for fermentation). Re-check that the mixing blade and bowl are correctly assembled and locked. |
